OCD's support is expanding!
Hello everyone! This is the 1904th compilation post of OCD's latest curation efforts. It has been known that OCD has been supporting leading niche communities under its Community Incubation Program. However, there are still a lot of other niche communities not supported by OCD. This curation initiative will help in supporting those communities.
This newest curation effort aims to encourage authors to post in appropriate communities even if those communities are not under the incubation program. This will also encourage users to explore more into the different communities in Hive.
How this Works
OCD curators and community leaders will find posts from other niche communities and recommend them for an upvote. Unlike those communities in the incubation program where curation is focused, this curation initiative is spread out. This will help find undervalued posts from smaller communities that deserve support.
This will highlight both the author and the community where the post is located. This way, smaller niche communities can focus on growing their subscribers and increasing the engagements within their respective communities. A small boost goes a long way.
Speaking of boost, here are the curated posts for this batch:

July 2024 was the time when I joined Hive and ever since I joined this wonderful community, it has held a special place in my heart and become an important part of my life. I’ve always been someone who loves to write. Writing has been my hobby for as long as I can remember. It’s my way of expressing myself, sharing my thoughts, and finding peace in the chaos of life. When I first heard about Hive, it was from a classmate and friend of mine, @iamcheerfellll.

In many ways, the homemade drinks are always the best option for me during the festive season, and this isn't about condemning numerous drinks out there. One thing I realized is that there are always lots of fake drinks circulating the country during the festive season, and to protect my family, I prefer to make some tasty and refreshing drinks.

It's a pity the story behind this singer, who, like any other imperfect human being, was influenced by fame, making bad decisions. But it is still a beautiful love song, I particularly always wanted to play it on the guitar, or sing it on a school stage. Although I don't know if at that stage I would have dared such a contest with my shyness.

With the passage of time, it is inevitable that we hierarchize our goals differently. Each one of us, according to our circumstances, decides at a certain time our focus points.When we are young, for example, issues such as the house, the car, or the children's education become the priorities to which we dedicate all our effort and energy.

It's the First Friday of the year. It's been almost a month since I last wrote a comment on my blog, 2024 was a powerful year, not only for me, but because I know that many here have also had ups and downs this year, so, the last weeks of it, I was a little sick, I still feel the same, but I did not want to let more time pass without publishing, before continuing, I wish from my heart, that you are well, that you are in good health, I hope that last year has left beautiful memories and that this one that we started a few days ago, brings for all, the fulfillment of dreams, desires and goals, Many say that this year is magical and that it comes with many positive things. I believe it will be so, without a doubt, I will tell you today a little about how we spent our December, which, although not much time has passed since it ended, it is good to leave a record of what it was.

Hello everyone. This is the first time I post in this Music community and the second time I dare to sing for Hive. I consider it a challenge given the musical quality that exists here, so I always try to give my best in each video. Today as a gift for the beginning of the new year, I bring you a Cuban classic, by César Portillo de la Luz, renowned musician and composer of my country. For you; Contigo en la Distancia.

Happy New Year 2025 to everyone in this beautiful Open Mic community. This week #247, we explore the theme: "Nostalgy". I am honored to share my trumpet rendition of "Stranger in Paradise," a jazz-influenced romantic ballad composed by Alexander Borodin, Robert Wright, and George Forrest for the 1953 Broadway musical, "Kismet." My favorite version is by Tony Bennett and I consider it to be the most popular. The tempo is moderate with a flowing and expressive melody. The harmony has unexpected chord changes and the rhythm is smooth with a slight swing that characterizes jazz. The lyrics speak of a stranger arriving in an unknown place and feeling lost and alone. When I saw this week's theme, I knew this popular song would be the ideal one, as it conveys nostalgia, longing, and the search for a place to belong.

What do ‘Hansel und Gretel’ (2020), ‘Legally Blonde’, ‘The Monkey’, ‘Psycho II’ and ‘Longlegs’ (2024) have in common? All of these films belong to the filmography of Oz Perkins, the director of one of the most and best directed films I have seen in recent times. Honestly, it was an excellent surprise to come across this psychological horror film..... For a long time now, the industry has been growing in originality in new stories, and the freshness that can be observed in its more than one hour and forty minutes of duration is simply masterful. Although, the review, as such, starts now. However, my happiness is such that it is impossible for me not to show it.
